Alignment Affinity (5)
The PC is instantly aware of any beings within 20’ who possess the same alignment
as himself. For example, a paladin knows when a lawful good Aasimar has just stepped
behind him but does not learn the alignment of the lawful neutral good Deva crossing in
front of him unless he employs some other means of divination.
Magical Perception (10)
Regardless of whether the PC is a spellcaster, he understands how the unique nature of
his home plane affects magic. This includes which schools of magic are affected, how it is
affected, and why ("You’re on Mechanus berk – wild magic is useless here
and against the law."). This ability does not provide other magical insight, such as
spell keys.
Planar Recognition (5)
Upon sight, the PC instantly recognizes any beings who originate from his home planet
as a fellow native. Only true natives of the PC’s plane can be discerned. This
ability does not grant the ability to recognize those who migrated to the PC’s home
plane from another plane. The PC does not gain any other information about the beings he
encounters.
Planar Resistance (5)
The PC receives a +3 bonus to all saves versus any naturally occurring phenomena on his
home plane (plane of birth).
